A dictionary teaches a child how to approach a problem and use critical thinking skills by sounding out the word and finding it in the dictionary. This simple task gives them a feeling of self-confidence and satisfaction that they cannot get online.

The students love the books! The third graders are thrilled to be able to write their names in them, knowing that they are theirs!

The Kiwanis Club of Jackson has been delivering dictionaries and thesauruses to children for years. We try to have Kiwanians distribute them to the children during a classroom visit. The children are so excited when they are told to put their name in the book because it is theirs! We love this project!
